Choosing a facelift is an investment in confidence, appearance, and quality of life. Understanding what influences pricing helps patients make an informed decision.
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that:
- Tightens loose facial skin
- Repositions underlying muscles
- Removes excess tissue
- Smooths deep folds and wrinkles
- Restores jawline and neck definition
Dr Deon focuses on subtle rejuvenation rather than an “overdone” or pulled look, creating results that appear fresh and natural.
